Once a week there will be a Pittsburgh Pirates Prospect roundup on the minor leaguers in the Pirate’s farm system and their stats. It is July and a lot of innings and stats have been logged.  We have a good judgement on the prospects’ season at this point.

These articles contain the top 30 prospect’s  and their main stats for the season thus far.  This will give you an easy and accessible page to view a prospect’s roundup and how they are doing on the year. The hitter stats will include batting average, RBIs, and OPS, some will have home-runs if they are supposed to be power hitting prospects.  Pitcher stats will include  their win-loss record, ERA, and their strike outs to walks on the season.

Some of the site contributors got to together and created this list after putting together a formula that consists of a number of stats, intangibles, and watching film on them. The stats that were used were based on their previous season performance and their career  stat lines.  With that being said, stats make up the bulk of how they are rated. Through this we put the prospects in a tiered system, but for these updates it will be easier to use the traditional 1-30 rankings:
